that kerry proposes a more sane foreign policy---not one that i agree with in all respects--but more sane than the bush administration has so far managed to implement--is on its own a strong reason to vote for him.
kerry's phrase "global test" implied that the americans would work in concert with the international community--that it would try to construct actual coalitions instead of the joke that bush managed in iraq--nothing about it implied, at any level, subordination to the un.
if you actually watched the debate, it would have been obvious to you that this is what kerry meant by the phrase.
did you not watch it?
if you did, then why would you allow the right spin machinery to substitute its remake for what you saw with your own eyes?
but maybe it works this way:
the conservative press assumed that, after a few days its constituency would begin to forget substantial elements of the actual debates and remember only certain phrases--and this kind of idiotic "interpretation" of kerry is an example of how trying to fill things in around that assumption works there.
why anyone would take the conservative press seriously is beyond me.
look what credulity gets you.
geez.
